Blythdale Roma

Roma and Blythdale are two nearby Queensland areas with very different scales. Roma is a larger hub where 12.3% of the population is Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and 10.6% of people earn $2,000 or more a week. Blythdale is sparsely populated and has a much younger feel, with 38.3% of residents being children under 15. While Roma is mostly car-dependent, it has many more amenities within reach, such as groceries and health services, which are completely absent within walking distance in Blythdale.

Typical weekly family incomes are very similar in both places, sitting around $2,200. This shared economic baseline exists alongside a large gap in how people work; 33.3% of people in Blythdale work from home, compared to just 4.2% in Roma. The two areas also share a similar landscape with almost identical terrain slopes.
